I was Kuechly's biggest fan boy. Love me some impact middle linebackers. I think Kuechly is a beast and his production was off the charts and will continue to be off the charts but I think Ogletree is a little better at making splash plays. A little less instinctive and clearly worse in zone coverage (but thats just b/c Kuechly was so good) but he plays downhill more than Kuechly did, is a better blitzer, takes on blockers better and he's a more explosive hitter. Completely different players.

I do not think DJ Fluker will hold up in pass protection at the next level, especially at RT. He's got really slow feet and he's really heavy. Phil Loadholt v.2. Huge, mauling RT prospect from a big school.

I'm tellin you guys....Sheldon Richardson is going to shoot up draft boards, he had a good season last year, first year at Mizzou. I expect big things from him this year, and he's a great athlete, I'm expecting a 4.75 in the forty, or lower.

Did he turn it on at the end of the year? I watched some of their games early in the year and specifically him when he came in. He didn't seem to make an impact. I don't know whether he was out of shape or what. I heard what a good athlete he was for such a big guy and I was excited to see what he had.

Anyone have an opinion on Kyle Van Noy, LB from BYU? I have to watch him more but I remember being quite impressed with him. Didn't write anything down. He finished last year with 68 tackles, 15 TFL, 7 sacks, 3 interceptions, 3 PBUs, 3 FF and 1 fumble returned for a TD. Listed at 6'3" and 235 pounds.

One of my favorite guys that isn't getting hype at this point is Zach Line.

Man crush on Keith Price.

Gerald Hodges is overrated to me, there are more than two more talented linebackers on Penn State than him, he could be good but so far has been just ok if that. Aaron Dobson I like as well, he has been good for quite awhile now. DC Jefferson, so he did not go out for the draft? If not that is great, kid has a sick tight end body, just needs to produce the way his athletic ability might allow him too. Morgan Moses disappointed last year I think, but he is still young. Faulk could be a stud OT potentially, and Colin Klein makes Tebow look like crap at times running the football at quarterback, kid is very underrated. Arthur Brown is a stud, plays with great leverage and is much more mature than his fool brother. Corey Nelson is a tough one, ideally would be a SS but not sure he can play that spot, and Jefferson ideally is a corner but playing him at linebacker is not good for his development, and Jefferson had a down season last year also I feel.
